CATCHPRASE 2000 WYTHNOS 23

Week 23, Monday.  Today, you’ll learn:

Rwy’ wedi gorffen, Rwy’ wedi paratoi, Rwy’ wedi clywed

Smwddio, Ymarfer, Myfyrwyr 

We’re going to be looking at another way of expressing the past tense.  We’ve looked at ces i - (I had) and the negative forms - ches i ddim.  We’ll now meet the word - wedi.  Look out for dw i wedi gorffen - (I have finished); Dw i wedi paratoi - (I have prepared); Dw i wedi clywed - (I have heard); Dw i wedi gweithio’n galed - (I’ve worked hard).  

Listen to the dialogue:
Carol - Catrin wyt ti’n brysur iawn heno?
Catrin - Nac ydw dw i wedi gorffen y golchi a’r smwddio. Dw i wedi paratoi bwyd. Pam? 
Carol - Rwy’ wedi clywed bod y coleg yn chwilio am ferched fel ‘modelau’ heno.
Catrin - Fi - yn modelu!  Dw i wedi clywed popeth ‘nawr!
Carol - O na.  Dw i wedi clywed bod y myfyrwyr eisiau modelau i ymarfer aromatherapi.
Catrin - Dw i ddim yn gwybod Carol.
Carol - Plîs.  Dw i eisiau trît. 
Catrin - Iawn te dw i eisiau trît hefyd.  Dw i wedi gweithio’n galed heddiw.

Firstly Carol asks Catrin whether she is busy tonight - ti’n brysur iawn heno? - (Are you very busy tonight?) She isn’t is she?  Nac ydw - (No I’m not).  And then there’s a lot of dw i - (I have) - dw i wedi gorffen y golchi ar smwddio - (I’ve finished the washing and ironing).  Dw i wedi paratoi pryd o fwyd - (I’ve prepared a meal).  And what’s going on in the college, Carol answers dw i wedi clywed bod y coleg yn chwilo am ferched fel modelau heno - (I have heard that the college have been looking for girls for modelling).  Catrin can’t see herself as a model can she? - fi yn modelu! - (me modelling!)  Dw i wedi clywed popeth nawr - (I’ve heard everything now) but it’s not that kind of modelling.  Dw i wedi clywed bod y myfyrwyr angen modelau ymarfer aromatherapi - (I’ve heard that the students - myfyrwyr need models to practice aromatherapy). 

Carol does persuade her doesn’t she? - plîs dw i eisiau trît Carol says - I need a treat.  Catrin can’t resist can she?  Iawn te - (OK then) I need a treat as well - dw i eisiau trît hefyd.  

Week 23, Tuesday.  Today, you’ll learn:

Rwy’ wedi cael, Rwy’ wedi clywed

Gwrthod, i wrthod 

Do you remember the word wedi from the previous lesson?  Dw i wedi gorffen - (I have finished).  Look out for wedi again in the following phrases - Dw i wedi clywed - (I’ve heard); Dw i wedi ymlacio - (I’ve relaxed) and then the negative dw i ddim wedi ymlacio - (I haven't relaxed).

Rhys and his mother are having a chat about the previous evening, when Rhys looked after his baby sister so that Catrin could have a noson hyfryd - (a lovely evening) - being spoilt by students.  Of course - (wrth gwrs), she cannot resist the temptation to have a go at him about his homework - his gwaith cartref.

Listen to the dialogue:
Catrin - Diolch i ti am neithiwr, Rhys.  Ces i noson hyfryd.
Rhys - Hm. Ches i ddim noson hyfryd.
Catrin - Ond ces ti gyfle i wneud gwaith gartref.
Rhys - OK Mam dw i wedi clywed, Mam wyt ti’n hoffi bod yn fodel?
Catrin - Hyfryd. Dw i wedi ymlacio.   
Rhys - Dw i ddim wedi ymlacio.  Dw i eisiau fod yn fodel. 
Catrin - Dydy’r coleg ddim eisiau tîm rygbi Rhys.
Rhys - Na ond beth am Daniel a fi? 
Catrin - O tut tut dw i ddim yn gwybod.

Catrin was initially very appreciative of Rhys wasn’t she?  Diolch i ti am neithiwr ces i noson hyfryd - (Thanks for last night I had a wonderful evening).  But Rhys wasn’t too happy about baby sitting was he? - ches i ddim noson hyfryd  - (I didn’t have a lovely evening).  Catrin grasps her opportunity to bring up the homework - ond ces ti gyfle i wneud y gwaith cartref - (but you had an opportunity to do the homework).  Rhys attempts to lighten the tone by changing the subject to the previous evening.  OK Mam dw i wedi clywed - (OK Mum I’ve heard).  Wyt ti’n hoffi bod yn fodel? - (Do you like being a model?)  Hyfryd - (lovely) she says.  I have relaxed - (dw i wedi ymlacio).  Rhys fancies his chances as a model doesn’t he? - dw i ddim wedi ymlacio - (I haven’t relaxed).  Dw i eisiau bod yn fodel - (I want to be a model).  Catrin doesn’t think it’s a good idea - dydy’r coleg ddim eisiau tîm rygbi Rhys - (the college doesn’t need a rugby team Rhys).  What’s Rhys’ solution?

The solution.  Na ond beth am Daniel a fi? - (No but what about Daniel and me?)  Catrin still isn’t impressed - dw i ddim yn gwybod. 

Week 23, Wednesday.  Today, you’ll learn:

Rwy’ wedi cael cynnig, Rwy’ wedi colli

Penderfynu, Yn enwog, Colli amynedd
 
More phrases with wedi in this lesson.  Dw i wedi clywed - (I’ve heard); Dw i wedi cael cynnig gwaith - (I’ve had an offer of work); Dw i wedi penderfynu - (I have decided).

More of the I have forms - Wedi clywed y newyddion - (heard the news); Wedi cael cynnig - (have been offered).  Try to pick out those sentences with I have - rwy’ wedi again and what does Rhys lose at the end?

Listen to the dialogue:
Rhys - Mam. Mam! Chi wedi clywed y newyddion?
Catrin - Ydw dw i wedi clywed y newyddion clywais i fwletin deg o’r gloch. 
Rhys - Na fy newyddion.  Rwy’ wedi cael cynnig gwaith.
Catrin - Ti? Gwaith?  Fel model ie?
Rhys - Na. Rwy’ wedi cael cynnig gwaith ar Pobol y Cwm! - fel ecstra. 
Catrin - A beth am yr gwaith ysgol?
Rhys - Does dim ots am yr ysgol.  Dw i eisiau bod yn actor… Mam … Mam! Rwy’ wedi colli fy nghrys glas!! 
Catrin - Tut Tut dynion! 

Crys glas - (blue shirt).  Rydw i wedi colli fy nghrys glas - (I’ve lost my blue shirt).  Rhys was very excited about his job offer - chi wedi - (have you) - chi wedi clywed y newyddion? - (have you heard the news?) - he says excitedly - rydw i wedi cael cynnig gwaith - (I’ve been offered work).  Catrin is very cynical about the whole thing - fel model she says sarcastically. But Catrin’s worried about his school work - a beth am y gwaith ysgol? - (and what about your schoolwork?)  What’s Rhys’ response?

Dim ots am yr ysgol - (never mind about school).  He says, Rhys’ eyes are firmly set on fame and fortune.  Dw i eisiau bod yn actor - (I want to be an actor). Mi fyddaf yn enwog - (I’ll be famous).  

Week 23, Thursday.  Today, you’ll learn:

Rwy’ wedi ymlâdd, Rwy’ wedi treulio amser

Cael cawod, Clirio’r llanast, Ymlâdd yn llwyr

More sentences with wedi again.  In the dialogue look out for the following.  Dw i wedi blino’n llwyr - (I am completely exhausted); Dw i wedi codi ers hanner awr wedi chwech - (I’ve been up since 6.30).  Rhys arrives home after a day working as an extra with Pobol y Cwm.  Has Rhys changed his mind on a career in the acting profession?  

Listen to the dialogue:
Guto - A dyma fe Catrin.
Rhys - O, Dad, dw i wedi blino yn llwyr.
Guto - Ar ôl un diwrnod o waith?
Rhys - Dw i wedi codi ers hanner awr wedi chwech, Dad. 
Catrin - A dw i wedi treulio amser hir yn clirio’r ystafell ymolchi. 
Guto - Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at glywed sut aeth hi.
Rhys - Eistedd o gwmpas yn yfed coffi ac wedyn cerdded lawr y stryd chweg deg tri o weithiau.
Guto - A rwyt ti wedi blino yn llwyr.
Rhys - Ydw. A dw i wedi newid fy meddwl. Dw i ddim eisiau bod yn actor! Dw i’n mynd i wneud fy ngwaith cartref Ffrangeg! 

It wasn’t what Rhys expected was it? It was a lot of hard work and yes he has changed his mind - a dw i wedi newid fy meddwl.  Dw i ddim eisiau bod yn actor - (I don’t want to be an actor).  All of a sudden gwaith cartref Ffrangeg seems to be an attractive proposition, dw i’n mynd i wneud ngwaith cartref Ffrangeg - (I’m going to do my french homework).

He found it all rather boring didn’t he? - i ddweud y gwir - (to say the truth).  Roedd e’n boring - (it was very boring).  Dw i wedi eistedd o gwmpas yn yfed coffi - (I’ve sat around drinking coffee) and then - ac wedyn cerdded lawr y stryd chwe deg tri o weithiau - (walking down the street 63 times)  He’s completely exhausted - blino yn llwyr.  

Did you get what Catrin was unhappy about?  Is it the mess in the bathroom?  Rwy’ wedi treulio amser yn clirio’r ystafell ymolchi - (I’ve spent a long time cleaning up the bathroom).  There’s a couple of other useful phrases in this dialogue.  A dyma fe ar y gair says Guto, here he is as we speak or literally here he is on the word - ar y gair.  Guto also says ar ôl un diwrnod o waith - (after only one day of work).  

Week 23, Friday.  Today, you’ll learn:

Rwy’ wedi cael

I hope you don’t feel like Rhys did … roedd Rhys wedi blino yn llwyr - he was totally exhausted after boredom nipped his acting career in the bud.  Let’s hope you have a little egni - (energy) left to look back at some of the words we’ve covered. Try to work out what the Lloyd family have done recently.

Listen to the dialogue:
Catrin - Dw i wedi cael hwyl yr wythnos yma Rhys.
Rhys - A fi dw i wedi cael ychydig o hwyl hefyd.
Catrin - Dw i wedi ymlacio’n llwyr. 
Rhys - A dw i wedi gweithio. 
Guto - Hm Gwaith - eistedd o gwmpas yn yfed coffi.
Rhys - Dw i wedi cerdded lawr un stryd chwe deg tri o weithiau. 

Guto - Dw i wedi cofio talu am y tocyn parcio!
Catrin - A rwy’ wedi penderfynu gadael y llestri i chi. Hwyl, fechgyn! 

Firstly Catrin says dw i wedi cael hwyl - (I’ve had fun).  She’s also wedi ymlacio yn llwyr - (completely relaxed) being a model for the students practicing aromatherapy if you remember.  Rhys is not so sure saying he has had ychydig o hwyl - (a little fun) and he’s also had work - wedi gweithio.  Guto didn’t think it was such hard work!  Fair play to Rhys he can laugh at himself.  Do you remember how he said I walked down the same old street 63 times - dw i wedi cerdded lawr yr un stryd chwe deg tri o weithiau.  And Guto, what’s he done? Yes, that’s it, he remembered to pay for the parking ticket - cofio talu am y tocyn parcio. Can you work out what work Catrin leaves for Guto and Rhys to do right at the end?

Did you get it? That’s it, it was the dishes wasn’t it? - a dw i wedi penderfynu gadael y llestri - (the dishes) i chi - (I’ve decided to leave the dishes to you two).  Hwyl fechgyn she says - (bye boys).
